Comment 39 for bug 456977

I have following hardware on laptop (clevo)
00:0a.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01)
 Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device 6833
 Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17
 Memory at d2204000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
 Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
 Kernel driver in use: rt2500pci
 Kernel modules: rt2500pci
I'm getting the same error:-
phy0 -> rt2500pci_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 1 (-16)

Confirm that workaround (now in /etc/rc.local) "iwconfig wlan0 power off" WORKS
